Camelot
A week after her husband's assassination, Jackie Kennedy gave an interview to Theodore H. White of Life magazine in which she compared the Kennedy White House years to King Arthur's Camelot. She shared that John F. Kennedy often played the title song of the musical recording before retiring at the end of the day, and quoted Queen Guinevere to express the loss: "Now he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man." -
